Being 21 Years Old – How I feel – Why I’m Happy…

Being 21 Years Old

Im officially an adult now, I can drink alcohol in America. I kind of feel a little bit weird about it! Not the America thing, the being 21 years old thing. This is the first birthday I have really felt different, not physically, but more mentally. Which is tons of fun obviously.

This is just going to be a short little ramble post. As you may know I have been pretty rubbish at blogging this year, so this will ease back into the routine (of which I have not decided on yet, once a week or month who knows).

So back to it. TWENTY ONE. Its not even a big deal, everyone turns this age at some point, but its a big deal, a big one.

By now (in my 16 year old future) I had moved out, either on my own or with someone else. I had a nice car, not a rusty,old, nearly going to literally fall apart car.
Finally, I was also earning a good amount of money! Good amount as in enough to pay for a house and a car and a fancy holiday every year…

Now im not saying im all upset or anything, because really I dont really care about the stage of my life I am currently in. (I mean I care about my life of course but I know ill be okay)
My life at the current moment; is basically not knowing what I should be doing, feeling confused, and not having my priorities straight, or why i’m not doing more for myself.

Hence why I started this writing course, to hopefully build a different future for myself, and why I have decided to blog again. I think I need more of that ‘sense of achievement’, that I am so not getting right now.

So I am doing things I guess, I just want it all to fall into place faster, and thats my inner 13 year old brat-self saying that.

On a lighter note, although I do hope this is coming ofF more relatable and not so moody and depressive… I dont think im the only 21 year old in the world who thought their adult life would be more fun by now, and thats it in a nutshell. I thought id be having more fun by now/living how I thought I would be.

Anyway, the lighter note is that I had a really good time on my birthday (31st of March FYI. I know its a month ago but i’m slacking). Sean and I went to London for a couple of nights. We stayed in the Park Plaza Waterloo hotel, and it was amazing. Like a spaceship. SO fancy.
We spent a hell of a lot of money, on things we/I didn’t really need, and on food, because everyone knows all food in London is extortionate. Ill do another post at some point about where we went and what we did, or I might not who knows.

Things I am Happy About

I suppose I should include things I am happy about before people begin to think I hate my life. Which I dont!

Every year I spend my birthday with my Brother. Being a Twin is fun, and also only having one sibling who has the same birthday as you makes life easier.

I have reached 21 and I do know what I want to do/be. I just haven’t got there yet.

Sean is a good boyfriend and puts up with me when I am in one of these moods.

My health is good, well would have been if I didnt have the hormonal injection, but that’s another story.
I am all good now!

My family is healthy, and all still around me, and also still put up with me when I’m in one of these moods.

I can’t think of anything else, but overall, im happy.

Haha, I loved reading this and I feel EXACTLY the same! I definitely had other ideas of where I’d be at this point in my life. I turned 21 in December and I’m very much at the – nearly graduating, can’t wait to get out and travel, have no idea what I’m going to do with my life …and have student debt, no money/job or other half to scrounge off – kind of point! But surprisingly, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time! I’m excited to get out and see the world (even broke af), I’ve finally (nearly) got good health physically and mentally, I have amazing family and friends who are all healthy and supportive – what’s not to be happy about eh?
